Best NBA Parlay Picks Today (Target Warriors vs. Clippers in a Same Game Showdown)
By Ben Heisler
While Vegas never sleeps, one would have to imagine the sportsbook traders and oddsmakers have to be exhausted from the completion of another Super Bowl.
While they may have cashed in on the final result of Sunday's game, we can try to get them back with a parlay card of our own in the Association.
Today, I'm focusing my parlay play on a single game Build Your Own Bet ™ option over at WynnBET, with the Warriors entering Los Angeles as a 6-point road favorite. A $25 bet at +800 odds would profit $200.
Best NBA Same Game Parlay For Warriors vs. Clippers (+800 odds)
- Golden State Warriors -2.5
- Warriors vs. Clippers UNDER 224.5
- Stephen Curry 4+ 3-Pointers
- Jordan Poole 14+ Points + Assists
- Andrew Wiggins 20+ Points + Assists + Rebounds
Golden State Warriors -2.5
The line opened up around Warriors -4.5 over at WynnBET and is now up to -6. By moving it to just over a two-point cushion, we get some added flexibility for a game that the Warriors are -250 on the moneyline to win on the road.
Golden State has messed around its last three games and needs to start playing improved basketball if it wants to contend with Phoenix for the top spot in the West. Taking care of business vs. an inconsistent Clippers squad still without their top players is an ideal time to do so.
Warriors vs. Clippers UNDER 224.5
I'm already on the Warriors-Clippers UNDER at 222.5 from earlier today on "Bet & Breakfast" (which you should totally subscribe to and check out below).
With the line now down to 220 (and likely continuing to move), more people are realizing that both teams are now known for their defensive prowess rather than their explosiveness on the offensive end of the ball. While the Warriors have been consistently elite all season, ranking first in the NBA in defensive rating, the Clippers are also a top 10 squad that was ranked even higher until a recent stretch where they gave up an average of 136 points against the Bucks and Grizzlies last week.
They're coming off a 99-97 showdown vs. the Mavericks in their back-to-back in Dallas, so they're starting to get back into improved on-ball defense and will need it vs. the Warriors tonight.
Stephen Curry 4+ 3-Pointers
Curry's prop is set at 3.5 3-pointers made, with the juice heavy on the over at -125 at WynnBET. Personally, I'm an advocate of grabbing Curry's over on 3-pointers following a bad shooting performance the game before.
Regardless, Curry has cleared this number in three of his last five games and looks to rebound from a dreadful 1-of-8 from 3-point range in their two-point win against the Lakers on Saturday.
Jordan Poole 14+ Points + Assists
Like Curry, Poole had a down game his last time out vs. the Lakers, but still managed to hit the OVER on Points + Assists with 15 in the game. He's cleared this hurdle all but once over his last six outings, including two just by points alone with a 31 and 18 point performance against San Antonio and Utah on the road.
Andrew Wiggins 20+ Points + Assists + Rebounds
Wiggins has cleared this number in four consecutive games, and has been one of the more consistent scoring options on Golden State during the run. He's averaging right near 15 points a game while mixing in four rebounds and just under three assists; keeping him way above the threshold he'd need to cross to complete the prop.
L.A. also doesn't have anyone on the floor right now to stay in front of him, so look for Wiggins to be in attack mode early and often.
